Love sweet STI. What you putting out?

Cause you just waxed a 650rwhp Shelby (just a guess, maybe 700?)

it's only got an upper pulley, but it did 530 on a very low reading mustang, mine did 470 on the same exact dyno

Very fast STi indeed. But unless I was going for absolute top end power, I would never be able to give up the unequal lengths. I just couldn't stand for my Subaru to sound like a turbo Civic. But just my .02, not trying to hate on you or the car. Good run. :beer:

it was definitely a tough decision but in the end I figured, I built a car for power, why not squeeze all the HP and TQ out of it possible, especially coming all this way...and to be honest, it really doesn't sound half bad. in the video it does sound quite like a honda, but in person it's not as high pitched, sounds more like an evo than anything else.

damn no love for the Japanese haha

Awesome STi man! Car really moves out!

Also I think it sounds great. But I have never been a huge fan of the way boxers sound.. then again Im not a fan of mud flaps on a cobra either op: :bash:

Quick car. Nice build.

Doesnt sound bad with the equal lengths. Im sure it makes up for it in power. Nice

Nice STi, rolls out for sure! How much boost are you running on the E85?

I have an 09 as well and it's currently at Wicked Innovation getting the block built. I cracked a ringland in cylinder #4. Hope to have it back by the end of the month, I really miss my car!
